Two things.
- Your method doesn’t dissuede bots nor multiboxers.
- Your method is just some weird captcha crap that will irk more people than it makes happy.

Power, gold, experience, levels, almost anything you can earn on a single toon.
Honestly if someone needs this to be explained to them then no amount of explaining will get it across.
as ive said before if multi boxers are cheating because its P2W then aren’t we all breaking the rules in that regard since we also pay for an account and should be banned as well after were 1/5th as guilty as a boxer that uses 5 accounts to play

Pay to win means you’re paying for a reward without actually earning it.
If you’re playing all 5 characters to their reward that isn’t pay to win.

You pay money and because of that your main toon gets benefits. Stop trying to squirm out of it.
Be more specific here. What am I buying?

The power for 1 person to 1 shot who they please. And no, it’s not the same as 5 people attacking because IT’S NOT 5 PEOPLE.
You can run dungeons and funnel all the gold and gear to your main toon.
It’s like paying 4 other people to follow you around and do exactly what you say. I shouldn’t have to explain this, just think about it for 2 seconds.
this isn’t 12 step try a different thread
I don’t really care about WPvP. I mean nobody ever said this was balanced and no it’s not specifically a multiboxer problem. Besides if they’re performing actions across all of their toons during PvP they are playing them. It seems this is a weird edge case you’re trying to promote to be so important to the discussion when it really isn’t.
See a multiboxer in PvP just avoid them.
You could do that but if you multiboxed you’d know that has limitations. If you don’t invest in all the characters at some point you stop getting anywhere. Anyone who seriously 5 boxes dungeons and M+ for example invests heavily in pots, food and enchants. To think they don’t just shows ignorance.
That’s not an analogy that’s the problem. Paying people to follow you around while you give commands (funny way of not saying you’re playing them) is NOT pay to win.
Pay to Win = buying the reward without working for it.

Not everyone says it needs to be banned, but if it isn’t, there are changes that should be made to gathering and I think it is reasonable to ask for that. Blizz has made changes to other activities due to multiboxers before, that is why we don’t see them in epic BGs anymore.
well BGs have an effect on real world after all no one EVER wins a $10,000 championship for most herbs gathered
That sounds a whole lot like buying a carry. Something else that’s not against the rules or P2W.
If you buy a second account, you have to level that second character and gear it up. You also have to pay attention to it so it doesn’t become out of sync with your main character. And then you have to keep paying the subscription fee. Sure, you can do that all with gold, but that’s still extra work you have to do on top of your main character.
That’s why multiboxing is not P2W, because there is an extra level of effort involved in making it work. P2W would be just buying something from the store and doing extra damage with no extra effort beyond pressing the “buy” button.

Fun fact: Only one multiboxer has ever reached Gladiator rank in a season. And they only managed to do it twice. And they were four-boxing with a second person helping out.
If multiboxing were as powerful as the anti-multiboxers claimed it to be, we’d see nothing but multiboxers at the top each season.
Multiboxing is inherently against TOS. One click on an herb flower -> Five characters picking an herb -> more than one action per click -> violation of TOS

well yeah because theyd still need a healer and a MB cant fight and heal at the same time due to the layouts a hearing setup would be different than a dps
well then theres a lot of cheaters on classic since all nodes and herbs are still one per pick and several people can try and collect from it
maybe Blizzard should ban players when several of them are all trying to harvest from the same item
That was actually a change to break follow bots that inadvertently hurt multi-boxers.
Proof that Blizzard cares more about the game overall than a few extra accounts here and there.
Multiboxing, or playing multiple World of Warcraft accounts at once, is not a violation of our Terms of Use. We do not actively support multiboxing tools. For questions about setting up or running multiboxing, you will need to refer to third-party sites such as WoW Wiki.
Each character is performing a single action in response to a single button being pressed by a human being. If that’s wrong, then every single person who plays the game is also wrong.

need you to work really hard for this one:
Three people, each clicking once and getting one thorium per person. Three people, three clicks, three thorium. One click per person.
One person, clicking one time, running an unsupported third party program that clicks an additional four times to get five herb spawns on one click. See the problem yet?
It’s just sending the input to multiple windows, not repeating an input 5 times in succession.
If you can’t understand the difference in that it’s pointless to keep discussing this.
